A practical guide to determine the incision line in the treatment of septate uterus: "Süha-Levent's Sign".
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the significance of a new sign in the hysteroscopic incision process of the septate uterus.


METHODS
This is a prospective case control study.


METHODS
II-2.


METHODS
The study was performed in a research hospital.


METHODS
Fourty-seven consecutive cases were operated for septate uterus.


METHODS
Septum incision was performed in all cases with a hysteroscopic resectoscope under laparoscopic supervision.


RESULTS
Methylene blue 0.25% was injected through a Rubin canula in all cases for the assessment of tubal patency. Following the methylene blue injection, hysteroscopic septum incision was performed.


CONCLUSIONS
A line (blue line) on the top of the cavity has been observed in 33 of 47 (70.2%) cases. This line (blue line) can be used for determining the midline especially before hysteroscopic incision of uterine septum and can also shorten the operation time.
